While exploring the Komodo National Park, guests can dive with giant manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles and see cool critters such as flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, and frogfish on a macro night dive. Besides diving, there is the chance to visit the flying foxes, trek with Komodo Dragons on Rinca, and sunset hikes on Gili Lawa Darat.

Great experience on Sokaraja
Had a great experience on Sokaraja. The dive instructors are friendly and incredibly professional. Each dive had a detailed dive briefing and they took js to varied sites for some amazing dives. The boat itself is comfortable with everything you would need. The crew on the boat were unbelievably friendly and helpful, with the cook continuously cooking up great meals. Overall would definitely recommend this live aboard.

Perfect dive trip with great crew and agenda
The trip was amazing with a great balance between diving, relaxing, socializing and exploring the national park. Definitely a must do for everyone. The cabins were not hot at all with the fan available and everything was very comfortable. Thank you for this great trip.

World class diving made possible by superb dive guides know the sites - and importantly the tides!
So much diversity on dives - some were wild current with pelagics, mantas and sharks, some were as coral rich and diverse as Raja Ampat, each dive had amazing features… octopus play, cuttlefish mating, sharks hunting prey… weeks worth of dive experiences in 5 days. The Sokaraja has a great crew and wonderful spirit.

A Sublime Underwater Adventure! 🌟🌊🦀🐟
My recent dive safari, led by Luca ans his crew, was an absolute triumph! His passion for marine life and dedication to conservation shone through every moment. Luca's expert guidance added an extra layer of magic to an already incredible experience. Can't wait to join another tour under his leadership! Warm greetings from Zürich, Philippe

Excellent experience!!
The team aboard the boat are extremely good. Very professional, safe and know the dives sites well. Luca the owner who was my instructor/dive guide was fantastic and has decades of experience along with his dive team and experienced boat crew. Also a big shout out to the chef who managed to feed us really well and keep the food very interesting and super tasty! Also a big thank you to the boys who made things so much easier with their help. There was 10 guests and 11 staff which makes running the boat a smooth operation. The dive equipment is professional and well looked after to a high standard. They took us to some beautiful spots to rest and relax after doves, the views are breathtaking. I would 100% go with Sokaraja again next time I do a live aboard purely for safety and the dive knowledge the team have. Thanks again guys and take care!

Excellent week of diving
We had an excellent 5d/4n trip. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options and plenty of food to go around. Adriana was our dive guide and she was fantastic. Safety is very important on this boat. The dive briefings were very detailed so we knew exactly what to do when we got in the water. My husband ended up preferring to snorkel and they had a guide for this on board as well. Accommodations were basic but we knew this when we booked. Excellent budget option with luxury safety and food choices

Best Experience!
Our Liveaboard with Sokaraja was the best experience during our one month trip in Indonesia! The crew is just the best and will make your stay with them perfect. But we're here for the diving, right? So how was it? We loved every single dive! Komodo is such a great place for diving because you have a lot of different topographies, currents, corals, fish and so on. So we saw a lot of amazing things down there. Turtles, sharks, mantas...you name it. You'll get a detailled briefing with a meticulous and beautiful handdrawn map of the divesite right before every dive. And when you're not diving you can relax on the really nice boat, play some games, go for a swim or have fun with the crew. The food was also nice and everyone got their bellys stuffed :) We had the dorm cabin but slept under the stars on deck which was also amazing and since there is no light pollution you can see the milky way and sooo many stars! The value for the money is the best. We really recommend doing the trip with Sokaraja :)

Absolutely fantastic!
Boat with 2 private cabins (we stayed in one) and 6 bunk beds. No A/C, but not really needed. Staff super friendly, food was fantastic. Diveguides and divesites great mix with driftdives and walldives. Felt safe at all times. Super nice sundeck and places to hang out in both sun and shade. Easy booking. Would go again any time!
